According to People, Johansson and Sean Penn have been caught around town looking like a couple. The two were not only spotted holding hands Saturday night, outside a White House Correspondents’ Dinner after-party in Washington, D.C., but they have also been seen together on a romantic getaway in Mexico. Although Penn and Johansson didn’t alert the media about their new romance, the secret’s out!
While the pair may not be ‘officially’ together, recent reports are all indicating that Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn’s relationship is intensifying. Rumors started circulating after Johansson took Penn as her plus one to Reese Witherspoon’s wedding. EntertainmentWise.com reports that the couple’s romantic visit to Mexico solidified their relationship. Grazia Magazine touched base with a source close to the couple. “It started out just as a hook-up thing. It was really casual, they were both in a pretty rough spot as far as break-ups go. It was just a friends-with-benefits situation. Things changed after they went to Mexico,” explained the source. “They really connected and stayed up all night talking. Sean is a pretty fascinating guy and Scarlett was just blown away by him. Things have progressed really quickly since then.”

Spring is in the air, and so is dating! With the fresh spring air comes a new way to approach dating. The goal for this season? Focus on friendships, which may lead to romance later on when you truly know your mate-to-be. Celebrities like Ryan Phillippe could certainly use this wisdom right now. Phillippe’s recent relationship with Amanda Seyfried seems to be on and off, and he was also recently accused of having “innocent sleepovers” with Rihanna. It seems to be a game of celebrity musical chairs in Hollywood these days, filled with all sorts of drama. For the rest of us, who prefer to keep drama-free peaceful relationships, the following tips could go a long way:
1. Rid your life of toxic people: Keep those who are discouraging and who don’t support and believe in you on the sidelines. Your energy field can take a turn for the worst with negative influences in your life.
After they were spotted together earlier this month, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn finally decided to go public with their relationship. The couple was seen together on Saturday at Reese Witherspoon’s wedding to Jim Toth. After the wedding, Johansson and Penn stopped by Jimmy’s Bar at Ojai Inn. According to UsMagazine.com, an eyewitness said Johansson was uncomfortable with all the stares they got from the bar. She muttered, “This is so terrifying,” and Penn held her hand as they went to their seat. According to the eyewitness, Johansson sat in Penn’s lap and they made out in full view for 15 minutes after their table was cleared.

After 14 years of marriage, Sean Penn and Robin Wright divorced in July 2010. Now Penn, who’s 50, has been caught canoodling with Scarlett Johansson, 26. Yes, your calculations are correct: Sean Penn is dating a woman who is literally half his age.
Of course, the obvious questions are: Why would Sean Penn go for someone so young? And why would Scarlett Johansson date a man so much older than herself? That’s when all the pseudo-scientists come out of the woodwork and start spouting evolutionary theory — i.e. that older men like young and pretty women because they represent fertility, and that younger women like older, not-necessarily-good-looking men because they have the maturity and means to care for her and her young. While there is some truth to these theories, it’s only a small part of what drives dating (and mating) behavior. More often, such theory is used as an excuse for older men to chase women who are too young for them, and for younger women to seek sugar daddies.
Hollywood moguls Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn were spotted having dinner together in Cabo San Lucas. The two jetted off to the romantic location for a short while to spend quality time together. They were previously seen together in a Los Angeles restaurant where, according to People, Johansson had her leg draped over Penn.

Another prized Hollywood couple has decided to call it quits. Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have officially separated with the intent to divorce, according to People. In a joint statement they say, “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love, and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.” Although the pair were just seen out in NYC together last month, a source close to the situation says that it was Johansson who initiated the split. The two wed in 2008 in a private ceremony in Reynold’s hometown of Vancouver.
Ryan Reynolds may be happy with his marriage to Scarlett Johnansson, but he isn’t a fan of his relationship being dissected by the tabloids. In a recent interview with GQ, Reynolds discussed his views on marriage and privacy. The actor, who married Johansson two years ago, explained, “Things change when you get married in general. But in terms of being a couple that’s in a public situation and speculated about and all that nonsense, it’s changed a little bit. I’m a little more guarded, I think. I’m a little bit more wary of having my relationship turning into a soap opera. I’ve just unilaterally not addressed it. That’s kind of been the fail-safe for me … I choose to remain as private as possible without being secretive.” Reynolds went on to say that though he and his wife deal with many rumors, marriage is still “the best part of [his] life.”What things should be kept private in a relationship?
